Grlevelx thread

i know we've had a lot of threads about Gr and discussing its ups and downs, but i figure we should have one for just support and placefiles/shapefiles. Aaron has a great site for a lot of different add ons for the program, but you can also find many more at the GR forum.
Aaron's site:

GR forum:

If you need any help or have any questions here is the place to ask.

Yep, Aaron has an awesome site. I plan to ask for gr for my birthday...but one question, does gr go to street level?

yes it can. it automatically comes with interstates and state roads, but you can (and i have) added shapefiles for Gr which gives you all the roads in every county, however, you have to add the files county by county, which is a real pain in the *ss to do.
this is how mine looks now:

As Dean said it does go to street level which is a great feature, I have never even bothered to add all the roads as it would take forever.* I haven't been over to the site in a while, anything new Dean that I don't already have?

i got a couple things from Aarons site. as you can tell i upgraded to a TOPO map which is pretty cool, it already has the lakes/rivers on it so you dont have to mess around with all those different placefiles, and i have a placefile for all the NWS offices in the entire* country with a mouse over phone number (thats the blue squares on the pic above). otherwise no, not really. if you want those i can get them for ya, otherwise cant really remember everything you have on yours.

Well the NWS offices sounds like a good idea, now I dont have to keep them in my phone, send me that placefile and I will add it.

i got it from Aaron's site so you have to create an account, then download it, unzip the two files in it and then add it. it sounds like a lot of work but it should only take about 5-7 minutes.

i forgot that i also have a placefile for tranmitters, but they dont have it finished for MN yet, but they do have all of them for IA. also just added airports...

Just FYI I have teamed up with Tyler Allison and he is sending me all of his maps to host on my site. For those that want street level 2 things
1. I will be adding a new area just for them on the site.
2. We will also be adding a flash tutorial on how to create your own.

I bought grlevel3 tonight-but I am having troubles. I entered my validation key from my e-mail and it says it is invalid. What do I do?
